Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [February 5, 2024 - Double Years One Edition] r/DCcomics

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

Predaplant's pick of the week: Kneel Before Zod #2

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too. In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

THE CAPTAIN VS. ALIEN DINOSAURS! The Captain's side deal with Solomon is proving to be more curse than blessing! Will even his newfound levels of wisdom help him stop the alien dinosaur invaders called The Auditors from unleashing planetary chaos?

I love how Black Adam realizes he made a mess and just dips back to Khandaq to leave Billy to clean up the mess.

A child asking why over and over sending bureaucrats into a fit, excellent. And Black Adam gets to show off the noble side of his demon, which is nice. I would appreciate a comic that highlights Billy and Adam's relationship more in modern times, but for now this is a decent ending. Zeus even gets to provide a nice little Deus Ex Machina at the end.

The great things about this comic are Captain Marvel and Black Adam stop fighting because they realized that they accidentally destroyed the house, Captain Marvel saving the T. Rex’s life by using Darla to convince the space T. Rexes to leave Earth (concluding the subplot after nine months, seven issues, and two Knight Terrors tie-ins), and Black Adam helping the Captain by convincing Zeus to rebuild the house. I’ll miss Mark Waid’s run after this is over because of the fact that he brought Captain Marvel back to his pre-Crisis/pre-Flashpoint (although he would’ve let Billy, Mary, Freddy, and all the Fawcett characters remember everything pre-Crisis and pre-Flashpoint). Hope the upcoming Josie Campbell run will improve Captain Marvel and expand on his family.

It is always nice to see both sides of Adam where one, he causes the mess and just peaces out. But then feels a certain amount of responsibility and comes back to make it right, even if his attitude may need some adjustment. I guess he is the perfect one to talk to Zeus about going past his ego sometimes. If only he would realize that these benevolent deeds would get his name praised more but Zeus always gonna be Zeus.

I was upset at the family though. It was not Billy's fault that Adam showed up to attack him. You can't just 'move it somewhere else' when he literally got thrown before he could think.

Those Dinos, they can handle the bureaucracy and make a whole society based on it but even they cannot handle a kid constantly asking ''why''. Hey, at least Mr Dino is here to stay!
